An Act relative to police cadets in the city of Everett

This bill allows experienced police cadets in the city of Everett to bypass standard civil service certification requirements and be hired directly into the lowest police rank. To qualify, a candidate must have at least two years of service as a cadet and either be on an existing eligible list or pass a new entrance exam, while the program must include provisions for affirmative action hiring. The law limits these special appointments to no more than one-third of the total new hires each year and requires the city to report all such hires to state officials.
